Abstract

This invention relates to a massaging sleeve and in particular to one which includes a pair of cylindrical members having a body with a flange at both ends, a packing fitted into the recess of the flange, a pair of pads each covered on one of the cylindrical members and a plurality of equidistant holes adapted to receive the protuberances of the cylindrical member, a plurality of magnets each fitted into one of the hollow protuberances of the cylindrical members, and two retainers for connecting the pads and the cylindrical members together.

Claims

1. A massaging sleeve comprising:

a pair of half-cylindrical members that matingly engage to form a cylindrical member and have a body with a flange at both ends, said body being formed with a plurality of equidistant protuberances some of which are solid while others of which hollow in structure, said flange being provided with a recess;

a packing fitted into the recess of said flange;

a pair of pads each covering one of said half-cylindrical members and having a plurality of equidistant holes adapted to receive the protuberances of said cylindrical member;

a plurality of magnets each fitted into one of the hollow protuberances of said cylindrical member; and

two retainer rings for keeping said pads on said half-cylindrical members together.
